Page, Btat. Inspector of Finances, on the condition of our Vermont trust companion and savings banks, states: that two Institution. a savings bank and trust company at Barre, and a aavlng. hank at Lyndonvllle have organized and begun business during the past biennial term. The St. Albana trust company la still In the band, of the reoelver. The West Fatrlee saving, bank ha. been practically wound op, and the Farmers' and Mechanic' savings bank and trust company of Uurllnglon and the Hlate trust oompany of ltutlaud are proceeding with a view to winding up their business. The wholo number of depositor. In the Hlate June .10th last was 4!),4r3, an Increase In the two year, of .1,(110. The total amount of de posit, waa $14,2S3,!IG3.47, an Increase of $fi!H),C71,94 In two year. ( tll,8'JVJM.09 be longed to depositors living in the state, anincreaaoof !t.W!,r.'.H.l(i in tho past year, and of $,i72,8Sfi,01 as compared with 1884 i $2,nSI,00n.78 belonged to non-resident de positors, a decrease of $44,8n2..12 in the past year, and of $1(1,211.117 as compared with 1884, The average amount to the credit of each depositor was $288.2.1, a dirriaso of $I,G.1 as compared with 188., aud of til.. 12 as compared with 1881. Three savings banks have paid A per cent dividends, one 43, eight I), and flvo 4 per cent. The total amount of the guaranty or surplus fund ha. been Increased by a little more than $8'.),000 during the two years, and amounted on June fit) totno0,3.12 11. The Iuspeotor believes that many of the bauks are paying too large dividends and would have dividends limited by law to 4 per cent per annum until a net reserve of at leadt sil per cent, has been accumulated. Hafety, he very properly says, mutt always be the "first and strongest consideration" in aavloga bank management. "Tbe chief r.aaon urerd tytrnnt.ra wbo advocate iilgli dlrldrndala tint tbry uullare It to be Ibrlr dnlv to dlvlda to drpoaltora lb. artual taming, of c.rb i.ml-annnal period, but lu my Judgment tbey arc quite aa liable to wrong future d.!Oflt!or, wbo tniy b.ve to suffer tbe lo.... .u.t.tned when tbe.. lo.n. mature, aalb.y are to wrong preaeut drpoaltura by ro vldlug now for to.... growlog out of lo.u. wblrb .re .t preaent abnormally profitable, and of wblrh pna ent drpoattor. are reaping all Ibe ben.Ot. without lu currlng auy of lb. rl.ka whlcb eiperleuce teaches are Ibe almo.t unlvrrul accompaniment of exceaah e rate of lntrrrat.' Mr. l'.ge drprecatea tho extent to which the banks are ti tiding to Invest their deposits in western farm mortgages. From less than four millions in amount in 18811 these, invest meuts have now grown to almost five aud one.balf millions. "Uoder tbe present l.w fi4 1.3 per cent, of all tbe aa.et. of our aavlng lank. may be Inve.led In tbeae western mortgage.. I am fully cuorluced that tbe limit should b. reduced to 10 per cent, believing tb.t .ucb a limit I. only lu accordance wttb Ibe dictate, of ..fety aud con.erv.tl.ra. That tbey bav. proved a de. alr.ble Investment In tbe past I. not questioned, but that there are Indlcatlona that tbe business la being overdone In this line of securities aud that tbe rrsulta m.y be disastrous, very few caotlona financier, pro. feaa to doubt." It is well for the Inspector to caution the bank managers against rash Investments in this or any other direction, but it la always lo be remembered that a good western farm loan is better than a poor loan at borne or else, where, and that tbe Bccurity aud desirability of Iho western farm mortgages depends very largely on the ability, charaoter and expert ence of the agents who place them. In the hands of good men tbey are undoubtedly among the best securities of tbe present day, and are as safe, at least, aa the western county or municipal bonds of which Mr. Page speaks favorably. The tables which the report contains show that our Vermont savings bank of llrattle boro nt III continues to lead the savings banks of tbe atate In the amount of deposits, its to tal deposits on June .10 being iL',0.'.l,.V)l.:n, against $l,r.s'.l,285.27 for the Rutland savings bank and $l,480,OS3.83 for the Iluilington savings bank, whlcb come next In amount of deposits. Tbe llrattleboro savings bsnk baa the handsome sum of $1I21),A.1'.I 6(1 In depos. its. Tbe amounts In the other Windham oounty saving, bank, are Jamaica, $172,. 171.41; Wilmington. $2!W,4!I8.88 ; Windham County, at Newfsue. $147,!i'J2.C2. The two llrattleboro banks have paid 4) per cut. dtv. idends, tbe Jamaica bank i and tbe banks at Kewfane and Wilmington A per cent. each. As only ono other strictly savings luslllu tion In the state than those here named pays so high a rate of dividend as r per cent., it would seem that the Inspectors remarks about daugerously high rates of interest are aimed ispecially at our WindbBm county banks, but we should be surprised if a thor ough investigation did not develop tbe fact that tho Investments of our local banka have btou made an carefully aud that their western loans have been placed through such rospon siblo agents, that their securities, whatever rate of interest tbey pay, are as absolutely ee. cure as those of any bank in tbe atate.

Ibe best yacht race of the season took place last Saturday, two day. after the sea. .on had closed and tbe proposed race in a "outter breeze" between tbe Galatea and the Mayflower off Marblehead bad been aban. doned. Off Newport that day, In a good wind, tbe famous English aobooner.yaobt Miranda was beaten by ten minute, in a 35. mile sail by the new centre board schooner Sachem, designed by Edward Durges., who also drew the lines for the Mayflower and the Puritan. The .Miranda bas won many prizes in Euglleb waters and is the beat boat of her alZK ever turned out of an English yard, but under conditions especially favor, lug ber she waa badly beateu by a boat the style of which it is Ibe fashion lu England to deride. White the schooner was thus handsomely beating tbe Miranda at Newport, keel and centreboard were having another contest off Marblehead, where tbe cutter Stranger and the sloop Thetis fought auother battle and the Thetis won. Just the sort of weather prevailed whlcb ought to have suited tbe cut ter, but the cutter got beaten all the same. These two oapltal raoe. practically close the yaohtlng season, which ha. been, perhaps, the most evontful of ail in the history of tbe sport on tbl. side of tbe Atlantic, and Ibe victory ba. been with the American boats ev ery time. The latest story In this connection I. that an English naval arobilcct ha. been In tbl. country all the summer examining Yankee boa(a on tbe sly, and his employer, whoever he may be, proposes lo capture the Amerioa's cup by building a yaoht on the American model.

The revelations which the investigation In Cincinnati aro bringing to light, says the Uostou Journal, are the natural and necesna ry roiulta of what baa been going on In that city for several years. A few year, ago a gang got control of the city which resorted to (lauds upon If.o ballot box to obtain their hold. So powerful were tbe leaders of this conspiracy that tbey were able to control Iho Democratic party and quite an element lu the It 'publican organization, For aiveral years thero has not hem a fair election In Cincinnati. There have been elections in which the gang had little interest, and onco or twice it has bom surprised and teuiporari. ly beaten at the polls, but aa a rulo it baa had Cincinnati in Its power. The purposes of the gang were various. Some simply desired political power and influence, others wete Bat. istlid to hold oflices, while many were bent on plunder. In proportion as their power over the ballot box was secured the gang be. came bold aud defiant, and tho tools whom It had put In office became pliaut aud uoscrup. ulous. The common thlevea were satisfied to rule the city aud county, but the more am bitious politicians aspired to control the atate, Uuittd States aeuators aud perhaps Ibe Pres. idency. The conspirators marked Mr. P, n dleton then United States Beiiator for mar tyrdom because be could not be controlled, aud by tho exercise of ruffianism at tbe prl. marie, and extensive and Hystomallo frauds at the polls secured a delegation from Hamilton county hOBtile to bim. llealen at borne Mr. Pendleton was thenoefoitb a discredited man In tbe cauvass. Tbe gang then made terms with the coal ell iulenst and S.nator Payne was ruajo senator, aa the Republicans and many Democrat lu Otiio in believe by tbe purunase of Democratic members of the leg. lalature. This marked suocohh turned the heads of tbe conspirators, and thef became more bold In their plans and more Uedaut in their execution. Last October auother legis lature was to be chosen which would elect a United States senator, aud one of tbe leaders of the gaug aspired to that distinguished hou or. Early on the evening of the election day it was apparent that the Republicans had carried tUu county, but before moruing the returns in several Democratic wards bad been eo changed that the Democratic ticket ap peared lo be elected by a small plurality. The frauds in sumo Instances were eo patent that tbey could not be defended ; neverthe less, the tools of the gang who canvassed the vote declared in favor of the frauds, and, af ter a long conteat, the supreme court, of which the majority were Democrats, sustain, ed their canvass. The frauds were set aside by tbe legislature after a protracted struggle, the boards lu Cincinnati responsible for the corrupt conduct of affairs were abolished and tbe work of investigation bas begun, which has already resulted in the exposure of cor rupt practices on every band. The wrong doing can all be traced to the frauds upon the ballot box. It is simply tbe old story that blundering and inefficient minagemeul always have their origin lu eltctlou frauds whlcn result from tbe carelessness of intelli gent citizens. The llol. and Alf Campaign. ITenuefe despitch to tbe-N. Y. Iterild, Mept. The Taylor brothers left the railroad yea. terday for the country district. As lljb mounted tbe carriage for a twenty-eight mile drive be remarked, "It is no easy work to canvaas tbe atate of Tennessee. Ood pity the man that la defeated I" The party, con slating of the candidates, reporters aud friends, numbered fourteen aud occupied five carriages. A rapid drive waa made over beautiful roads. The party waa lu fine spirits. All along the route the men, women and children stood in tbe door of tbe farm houses and cheered for Alf or Dob, according to the politics of the family. At dusk the party stopped at a little collage on the road. After supper a number of tbe neighbors gathered around tbe di.tinguitbed brothers in the par lor of the collage. The brothers were in good humor and talked pleasantly and freely upon all questions. Alf said that when be aud Hob were boys they used to play marblea with other children, aud at the end of the game Dob would mauage to have all tbe marbles in hia pocket. The children aald then that Hob would be a Democrat. Dob told a great many amusing stories and kept the crowd laughing. Tbe entertaiumeut continued till a late hour, when the two brothers, who every day op. pose each other mo.t vigorously on the tump, retired fur the night to tbe same room. Tbey arose at the dawn of day. Alf was In better humor than be had been during tbe canvass. He said to Hob, "We are going into a Republican county, sir." Hob laughed and said: "I am glad you are going to have a chance ; it baa been a good while since you addressed a Republican audience." This morning Alf stepped into hia carriage and very courteously waved an adieu to tbe crowd. Hob went into tbe house, kissed the babies, took tbe hand of every one and spoke a pleasant word to each. It is such little courtesies that ba. endeared Bob Taylor to the heart, of the Tennesstans. One mile from Waynesboro, the candidates, who were ridlog together, were met by a large prooea. .ion. Lame Uses bearing the 11 arueu nf the candidate, were borne aloft. There waa a great deal of cheering for both candidates, but Alt's adherent, were the loudest and most numerous. Alf was much encouraged by the crowd to. day and spoke with more thau hi. wouted vigor. He defended his party from tbe at tacks of bis brother in a manner which elicit, ed much applause. An old Democrat, wbo waa very much excited and wbo bad never seen tbe brothers, mistook Alf for Hob, and when Alf said "I am for a protective tariff" the old man said, "That's my doctrine." Alf said:"! am unequivocally for tbe Blair bill." Tbe old man aald, "So am I." When Bob arose the old fellow discovered bis mis lake, cheered loud for tariff reform aud man ifested a violent opposition to tbe Blair hill. The people of tbe little town of Harmony, Me., which ha. scarcely a thousand inhabi tants, all told, have been in anything hut a barmonloua state for a fortnight or more past. The trouble is a remarkable series of incendiary fires, which bas brought the in habitants to a great pitch of excitement and alarm, A meeting was oalled on Saturday to devise means for self protection, but tbe alarm of fire aeut the people hurrying to a burning bam, and while they were working there two other barns In other dinotions were burned. On Sunday another barn waa fired. Tboso fires were all started in broad daylight. The greatest excitement prevails. Potatoes have been left undug aud corn un. gathered ; stock bas been left out in tbe rain and business of all kinds ba. been suspended. Furniture and clothing bas been paoked up and in some instaucss plaoed upon the piaz za, whence it oan be removed at a moment's warnlug. On Monday tbe alarm bad become so general that the postmaster did not dare to Lave mails brought through from tbe sta tion In tbe night time, and it was held over aud brought along tbe next day, but tbia tuade tbe malls so lata that an armed guard was detailed to escort tbe mail aud it came at usual time, Tbe decrease In the publio debt in Beptem. bar was (),(;.'7,0i:t, Tbe recelpta of the United State, treaaury for tbe first quarter of tbe fiscal year, ending September 110, were nearly $K,7o(),0XI greater than for the same period last year.

There waa no room for auv flnw.r.o.r.ton In the front of the bouse, it stood so close to tne roau, 1 ne lltlle cottage, unpainted, save for white strips arouod the windows, bad an nlr of pushing forward timidly. The small, white, sharp ateepled moeting.bouse stood Just opposite. There was a joke prevaleutin the town about Silas Vinton's bouse having once started to go to metting when tbe bell rang. Tbe three uneven stone steps before the front door led quite down to the narrow smewaia, wnicn was scarcely more than a root patn amongst grassea and weeds. The little atrip of green under tbe two windows on eaoh side of tbe front door was closed In neatly and trimly by a low fence of two white, washed ralla. Silas Vinton had tried to .tart eome plants in their tiny enclosures, but It wai 01 noose, 'lue drip rrooi the eaves directly into the roota kept the earth washed away from them. So there waa nothing but the nine peooy airip, wnere tbe ralu-drops fell, through tbe close creen crass. Silas bad enough land at the rear of his bouse to make up for the want of it at the front. There were two good acre, stretching back to Ibe river bank. Oue acre waa tbe flower and vegetable garden, and the other was an apple orcnarel. Tnera were cberry trees, bul tbey were scattered about at Inter. vals through tbe garden. This morning the trees were all in blossom, and some eaily flowers iu the garden, and Silas was out there woiking. He had taken bis coat off, and bis uiuo uBiiou suiri sieeves anowea. He was a young man under thirty, and he looked still younger. It was not so much be cause be was short and alender ami f.le.1,.1.. ed ; the effect of childishness be gave came iroui umo inwaru quality wniofi shaped the outward to itself. People used lo say, "S.las Vinton is a dread ful womanish sort of fellar." But it was not womanisnuess nor Ijoylshoeew, but that child hood which has no sex, which appeared in hia round, delicate face. When he wax . ),. by he muat have had that same look of won- tier ana inquiry and Innooent speculation that he bad now. He was at work near where the garden iru uu auu eue orcuaru begun. Xne flower ing apple-trees were full of bees, aud there was a cherry tree near him which swarmed with Ibem. One could bear their murmur ing, aud through that, between the ranks of rosy trees, the spring rush of the river. The air was very sweet. Silas was aettiog out some potted plauta which he had brought from tbe house. His windows were rigged with shelves for them from sill to ceiling. His bouse in winter was like a hot-bouse. All the time Silas kept talking lo himself, or rather murmuring. It wa. tbe way the beea did, aud be might have been making honey, after a spiritual fashion, too. "Li. lacs, snowballs, and almond; apple blows, and cherry blows, and daffodils." He talked to himself about tbe plants he was setting out ; where this one had better be put, and that one, and bow deep bolea to dig for Ibem. But every now and then he cast his eyes about, and repeated, "Lilacs, and snowballs, and almond; apple blows, and cherry blows, and daffodil.." It was like a refrain to bis practical muaiogs. These new flowers were in sight arouud him as be work, eel, and be kept counting them over as be might bare counted Jewell. He was so busy talking and working that he did not hear a girl's footstep on Ibei irar. den path. The flrat he heard was a timid, high-pitched voice saying, "Silas." He started, and looked around. "Why, Altbea Hose." said he, "you thar ? How still you came I I didn't hear yon." "Mother wanta 10 know," the girl aald, bashfully, "if you've got any parsnipa you could let her have." ' Certain I have; a good parcel ; and mother's quite welcome to 'em. Tb right over bere." I lour They're Silas lea tbe way, and tbe girl followed him. She bad a basket in her haud. She waa an odd looking young girl. Her face was sweet and fair ; ber f eaturea were small and delicate, and had that quality about tbem which one calls waxen in lilies; but everything about ber which did not depeud direolly on nature waa peculiar. Her thick light hair was out tquaro. ly across ber neck, and shelved out around her ears. She bad bad a little .tiff white sun-bonnet on ber bead, but ahe had taken it off aa she came along, and held It dangling by the strings. Her dark calico drcs. waa so prim In its cut that it almost acquired an in. dividuallty from it. She was only sixteen, but tbe skirt touched Ibe ground and bid ber little, coarsely shod feet. The waiat was long and Btralght and kept back all ber pret- . ..ore. She stood watching S.las aa he got the larsnlps. When be bad filled her basket, and rose and turned to speak to her, tbe dell, cale color flashed up deeper in her cheeks, aud ber eyea changed like blue flowers when tbe wind strikes them. "There," said he, "Pre filled the basket full ; and tall your mother abe can have some more auy time aha wants 'em." "Thank you," said Althea. She did not offer to pay bim. Silaa never would take anv pay ; be took pride in euppiyiog Ibe neigb. bora gratuitously with vegetables, and aaem. ed hurt if any remuneration was offered. Althea reached out ber band for tbe basket, but Silaa kept it. "I'm going up to tbe bouse," said he, "and I'll carry it aa far', the gate j ft', kinder heavy," Passing along by tbe clumps and little bed. of early flowera, a thought atruck blm. "See here, Altbea," aald be, "don't you want a bunch of flower. ?" She gave him such a bashful .mile that It ran Into a .Illy giggle. "I don't know." "I'll pick you a bunch in a minute. I won't keep you waiting for I suppose your mother wauts to cook them parsnipa for dinner. I'm going lo bave some for mine; got 'email dUR iu tbe bouse." Then he out lavishly spray, of dloletra, or lady'a ear-drop, snowballs, daffodils, flower, log almondjand tbe other spring flower.. He stopped a moment be-llatingly at a lilao bush. "See bere," esid he, "I don't know a. you like lilacs." "Yes, I like 'em." "Well, here', a bunch, then. I didn't know but what you migbtu't like 'em ; some folk, don't, I reckon It', moat too strong a driuk of spring, if I can put it that way, to some, I can atan' It." When he banded ber Ibe enormous nose, gay be bad cut for her be looked at her un. covered head. "Ain't you afraid of gettln' burnt, without your bonnet 1" asked be. Bhe gave her atin bonnet a spiteful little fliug. "I bate ill" cried she, with sudden nerve. "Mother make, me wear it, but I pull it off tbe minute I get out of sight. I want a bat like the other girls. Sol" "I thought the bonnet wa. real pretty," said Silaa sympathizingly. "I'd wear It, if I wa. you. You're .0 ligbt-ekloned you'll burn real easy. You're something the oolor of them apple blow, over there now; it would be a pity If you got brown." "I don't oare if I do I Thank yon for the flowers," she added a little more softly aa .he went out the gato, Silas slarud after bur. "She ohange. round ao quick," said he, "aa if abe was In a gust of wind. First ber head a-dropping down, an' then she goes to dancing. She's got tbe prettiest I aoe I ever saw. She's prettiar than mother waa. I declare I might count ber wllh them flower. I was couutln' over when ane came. She might come In after the daffo. dlis." When bo went Into the house and busied himself about oooklng hi. dinner, be did .ay the etrlug of flower, over several times, and nsmea Aiiuea allor tne ilalloUlls. The fancy seemed to please him. He lived alone now; be had always had his mother with him tin to the last twn vssn Now she waa dead. Ills father bad died year. ueitirr, wuen ones wa. a young boy, lie bad been a hard-working, penurious man, and uiui amassea in ni. lifetime wbat tbe towns folk considered nulle a nronertv. Ha owned bis bouse and land clear, aud had, besides, a little sum in the bank. In his lifetime Silas aud hi. mother, who was a rneca, Bicaiy woman, bad been pitiful ly pinched. After bis death, when the re strictive cause bad ceased, thev found it illf flcult to rid themselves of the habit of being so. Many a timo Mrs. Vinton would look scared when some extra expenditure came In question, aud say, "Oh, Silas, what would your tamer say 1 Tbe old man .Iron, grind, log will still lived on in hi. house after be was dead. Still tbey made some innovations. Sila. took the larger part of the garden for flow, era, and cramped the vegetable, into a small. er space, Silas and his mother bad not been allowed room tor oue little flower-bed before. After bis mother's death H, las went fnrtw He would not sell his vegetables, but gave iucui away 10 any one Of tne neighbors wbo wanted them. He toak the nre.te.t Halloht in it. The sale of vegetables bad alway. been quite an item to tbem, but be never tnougut of missing tbe money. He wa. nat urally generous, and giving was whet singing would bave been to blm bad be been musical. In apple and cherry time. too. tho children swarmed about bis place. They were very fond of Silas, and visited him a great deal at an seasons, in seldom bad anv other vl. I tors. Silas had never seemed like other young men, whether It was oaring to his having oeen wuu nis motuer so much or bla own natural disposition. He never had anv aaso. ciatea of his own age, of either Bex ; nobody ever dreamed of his nettine married. Pen. pis called him a lltlle simple. They were simple country folk themselves, lie was probably no simpler than tbey, only hi. aim. pncny looa aucn a uinerent direction tbat tbey recognized It aa such. Sua. had alwaya loved flowera. As ba grew older, aud especially after bis mother's aeatn, wnen an direct human Interest wa. gone, tbe love or them turned bia whole self. He was natural enough to grasp after some absorbing interest, aud bis gentle taste seem, ed to point that way the easiest; and he migoi uavo turned a worse way, tbough It might have been a nobler one. than into beds or lilies and thickets of roses. He wa. .0 fond of his dainty pursuit tbat it was onlv very dimly that he felt tbe need of anything else. II ruminated so long and heartily over bia flowers that it might have been with mm as wun Marvel s rarm, "Lilies without, roses within." His very thoughts mlcbt have been tinctured; be thought principally of bis flowers, and bis brain was full of true imagea 01 roses ana lines and apple blossoms. But now be began to think of Altbea. Af. ter she came for the parsnipa she slid into bis mina aiong wun tne nower. continually. He hoped every day her mother would send ber again on some erraud, but she did not. Silas, wienoui Knowing tuat ne did so. watched and waited every day for ber. Finally, after a wees, or so, 11 occurred to mm tbat Altbea . mother might like more parsnips. So he carried her a great basketful. After he had gone he would not come into the house, but lingered a moment in tbe yard loosing wisniuuv at Althea. wbo stood In the door behind her mother. Mrs. ltose eyed oer aauguter knowingly and abarply. "Silas Vinton didn't come to brin? me nars. nips," said ahe. Althea looked up at her, frightened. She still stood a few paces behind ber mother; It wa. ber way. If tbey were out on tbe street together, Althea followed after her alwaya. When ber mother attempted to face ber, At. tbea always slitred softly round behind her. "He came to see you," said her mother, turning round again. Althea turned too, and looked more scared than before, and made some unintelligible dissent. 'lee, be did," Mid ber mother; "don t you contradict me, Althea I" It was easy enough, after seeing Mr.. Hose, lo understand bow the daughter not her ne. culiaritles. Tbe mother bad moulded the daughter after ber own model a. exactly as abe could, and moro exactly than abe was herself aware, ilrs. Rose must bave looked very like Althea iu ber youth. She wore ber light, partly gray hair cut squarely around ber ears, just like Altbea'a; her dress bad the same prim, uncompromising cut. She waa arbitrary, and full of a sell confi. dence that was absolute power, and so was Althea. All was, the girl bad not shown her disposition ; her mother, by ber older, strong, er will, and force of babit. as vet keot her down. She only rebelled furtively. Tbe stern rule she had always been under gave ber a shy, almost cowed, demeanor ; ouoe in a while the spirit in her gave a flash, as it were, and tbat waa all. Tbe two were alone : tbey bad no relatives. They bad a small pension to live on, and owned a small house besides. Mrs. Hose's husband bad died in tbe armv. Thev never called on the neighbors, aud the neighbor, never called on tbem. "Qaeer folks," tbey called tbem. Mra. Rose's opinion s-jemed fortified when Silas came the next Sunday night aud made a call. He went to evening meeting first, and then walked down tbe abadowy road toward tbe Hose bouse. The Hoses were not meetiug folks, and be could not walk borne with Al thea and so break the ice. However, Silas waa not bashful. It is doubtful it be realiz d be was going courting at all. He bad a great bunch of flowers in bis band, and be wai merely going to carry tbem to Althea : he did not look much beyond tbat. His horizon, blue aud sunny though it was, came close arouud blm always. So be sat in Mrs. Hoso'a sitting room that evening and eyed Althea sweetly and kindly, uui waa not perturbed, tnougn he aald very little. ' "He'a coming after you. Althea." said her mother, after he bad gone. Althea, slinking behind her mother, burst into tears. "Wbat are you crying for?" asked her mother, sharply. "1 don t want him to." "Get your candle and go to bed." Silas came regularly every Sundav evenins after tbat, but he met with an obstacle In bis wooing which might bave nonplussed some lovera the mother alwaya staid in tbe room when he called. There she would sit. straight and fiercely watchful, ber busby short hair curving around ber oars. However, Silaa was not annoyed. The need of a formal dec. laration never euggested itself to him ; he supposed Althea kneie, and there was no need of saying much about it anyway. It would have puzzled any oue to have told Al. tbea'a opinion when Silas's attentiona became persistent ; she waa eby and docile, but nev er expressive. Still it was all right with Sila. as long as she did not repulse bim. He bad bad so much to do with flowers that he de rived bia notions of girls from tbem. lie did not look for much return but sweetness and Hence. At last Mrs. Rose grew impatient. Hnrlno had come round again, and Silaa had visited Althea a whole year, and still nothing decis ive bad been .aid. She could not see why. It was singular tbat with ber keen oharaoter she should bave been so Btupld, but she was. She did not dream tbat ber own watchfulness and Intense Interest might delay matters. One night she spoke out bluntly when he wa. taking leave. "Look here, Silas Vinton, I think if you an' Altbea are goln to git mar ried, you might a. well be about It I" "I'm ready when Altbea is," said Silas. He gave one glanoe over at ber behind ber mother, then be did not dare to look again. He waa ootwardlr calm, but the ahrw,k nt Mra. Hose's sudden remark was over bis very soul. He fait aa if be were still iu paradise, but aa if aouio angel bad given bim a rude abake. "Oh, she's ready enough," Bald Mrs. Hose. 'She don't need to have anvthinc mnre'n dres. new, an' we oan make tbat in a week." "A week ?" repeated Silaa, half In rapture, half In atupldity. "Well, I'm all ready when Althea Is, I'm all ready," He kept saying it over as be backed down Ibe steps, "I'll git the stuff for the dress to-morrow, then," called Mra. Hue after him. atumllno In the door. "I'm all ready when Althea is." Silas's vol answered out of tbe darkness. A. for Altbea. when the door nlrwA.1 .ft. bim abe began to cry. Her mother turned around and saw ber. "Wbat air you crying for?" abe demanded. "Ob, mother, I don't want lo get married in a weea. iwon ii nor' "Altbea Hose," said ber mother, "if you don't quit cryln', and light your candle, and go to bed an' behave yourself, I'll shake you I" Ano Aitnea lit her caudle and went. Tbe old whip craok was too muob for her. II11 when ahe wa. In ber room alone, ahe clinched uer nit. and .book ber atubborn bead at her .elf In ber little looking glass. "I won't." muttered she. "So I" Tbe next morning tbe tree, were all In bios som. and Silaa was out in hi. cardan woiklnir. He wa. all over bis excitement of last nluhL Hia mind was running In tbe larger cirole Into which Mrs. Hose', proposal, like a alone in a fiond, had thrown It, just a. calmly as It had n a smaller. lie felt a.

She gave a scared glanoe around her. "Mother's making me marry you," said sue, uiuntiy, "an i aou t waul to. "Oh, Allheal" "It's tbe truth." "Silas stood staring at ber pitifully. "You was so afraid of ber you didn't dare say any thing, weren't you ?" said bo. '"Yea. I was." "You poor little tblna I" Great tears ran uown rjuas a cheeks. "Then I needn't marry you, need I ?" "Course you needn't." "Well, bow can we flxit? You know we've got to tell mother something. 1 gueaa 1 don t know jaat what you mean.

"fioj abe sfaan I blame you. "HI tell lie before sbe shall blamo you." "ion are awful good. Silas. Sar. vou don't mind mucb, do yon ?"

"You'd better do now," said be, "or your motber'll be wonder ing where you are." She looked frightened. "You be sure not to let ber blame me," she said as she turned to go. lea, I'll be sure. Don t you worrr. Al tbea." Sbe disappeared amongst the filmv creen bushes, and be aat down on a .tone under tbe cherry tree, and held bis head in bis bands. When be got up be looked older. Sorrow at one jerk bad taken bim farther out of his long childhood than the years had. He was a step nearer the rest of the world ; be would not be bo odd, by tbat much, again. He went np through tbe garden to the bouse; be looked about him wonderingly a. he went. "Thar'a been an awful chance." aald he to himself ; "I guess I don't see straight. Tbe flower, 'nd thing, look queer, as if I hadn't seen 'em before. It's worse than motber'a dyin' thar aint so mucb God in this. I don't know bow to go to work to atan' it. Poor little thing 1 Bhe shan't bave no more trouble about it, nohow." ery close to tbe Rose house stood anoth. er, tiny, modest and white-curtained ; and it naa an eye ana an ear ever alert In It. The woman who lived there was sioklr. with too active a mind for her own narrow life, eo ebe fastened it on her neighbors. This last evening when Silas went to tbe Hoses, ebe knew it, aa usual. When, by and by, she heard loud Ulk, aba raised ber win dow softly, and listened. The front door of tbe Hose house waa evidently open, and the talker, were standing in tbe ball. She could only bear one voice to distin guish tbe words ; that waa Mrs. Hose's, wbo alwaya spoke very loud when she waa excited. "You're worse than your father waa," the listener beard ber say, "and be was tighter than tbe bark of a tree ; but be want quite so mean but wbat be could get married. Al thea'. well rid of such a poor stick a. you. Don't a'pos. she'd bed 'cough to eat if you'd married ber, nor a dress to ber back." ihe loud talk kept on. and the woman lis tened greedily. When it bad ceased, and Si las bad crept down the path, and tbe door bad closed with a great house-shaking slam behind bim, abe felt more healthily alive than ebe bad for many a day. Soon all the town knew bow Sila. Vinton bad jilted Altbea Hose beoause he was loo tight to support hsr. His courtship had made a deal of laughing comment ; now be was mercilessly uaagereu. ne shut himself np with his flower, and bore it as well as be could. Once a nelehbor he bad given vegetables to many a time of fered bim pay. Tbat almost broke bis heart. Then others no longer asked for tbem, and be understood why. lie never met Altbea at all. For tbe next two years, exoept for one or two glimpse, of ber from bis window, be would hardly bave known abe lived in tbe aame town. In tbe winter of tbe second year a man who came to bia house on an errand asked bim if he knew bis old girl wa. going to be married. Silaa turned white. "What do you mean ?" he asked. "Altbea Hose la goin' to get married ef the feller don't back out 'cause be don't want to support ber. Wbat do you tbink of thai?" 1 m giaa, 11 she likes mm," said Silas. "Well, mebbe when be oomea to count ud tbe cost, be'll tbink better on't." Silas made no reply to the taunt. He stood behind hia window.shelvee of plant, and watched tbe man go down the sidewalk. "I don't wonder be talk, so," said he, "But thar wa'n't uo other way to save ber. I had to bave some reason. The worst of it is, it aint true." Silas', potted planta were verv beautiful that year ; they were covered with blossoms. every one atopped to look at bia windows. Silas aat behind tbem tbat dav after he heard the news, and watobed tbe atreet. He was hoping Altbea would go by ; be wanted to aee her.- Sbe did come in algbt toward nisht a slen der, girlish figure in some prim, ecoentrio winter garu, aa nouoeable as her summer one. sua. ran to the door. "Althea 1" "Wbat?" aald Bhe, standing at tbe gate. He went down tbe stops and stood beside ber. "See here, Althea, I beard this morning you waa goin' to get married, Ia it so ?" Altbea looked down. "Yes." "I jest want to know It'a safe for von to tell me, Althea ; I'd aooner die than anvbodv abould know I jest want to know if it'a all right tbia time If you want bim, or it's your mother makin' you, the way it wa. before. 'Cause, if it ia, don't you marry blm. Don't you be afraid of your mother. I'll atan' by you." "I guess if. all right, Sila.." "Then your mother aint makin' vou ? Don't ou be afraid to tell." "No, abe aint. Sbe couldn't, reallr t I'd manage somehow, the way I did before. If I didn't want blm." "I'm glad it'a all right, Altbea." Sbe giggled softly. Sbe waa flugerins a gold looket which sbe wore outside of ber bawl. "See wbat a pretty locket be giro ue," abe aald ; "he's real generous." "Sbe didn't mean to hurt" me when she aald that, I know," aald Silas, when sbe bad gone on and be waa back in tbe bouse. Aud be waa right sbe did not ; sbe waa ouly a cat's paw for a ecratcb of fate tbat time. She was married a couple of week, later. Oj the afternoon of Ibe wedding day oue of tbe neighbor.' children oame to aee Silas. She wa. a prelty little thing, and be wa. very fond of her. She used to tease ber mother to let ber go over to Silas'.. When she entered Silas's little front room to day, tbe first thing sbe did wa. to stare at the plants In the window. Every blossom wa. gone. "Why, Sila.," she piped up, "whore's all your flowera?" "They've gone to a woddlu', deary," aald Silas. Mary K. IIYilin. In llarptr't lhimr. The Heath ofHIonrttall Jackson, Ciplaln James Power Smith describe. Stonewall Jtcksou's last battle In tbe October Century. From his article we quote 1 "When Jackson bad reached tbe point whew bis line now croaaed the turnpike, scarely a mile weBt of Chancellorsville, and not half a mile from a line of Federal troops, be had found his front line unfit for tbe farther and vigorous advance be desired, by reason of the irregu. lar character of the fighting, now right, now left, and beoause of tbe dense thickets, through which it was impossible to preserve alignment. Division commanders found it more and more difficult a. lb. twilight deep, ened to hold Iheir broken brigades lu band. Regretting tho necessity of relieving tho troops In front, Gen. Jackson had ordered A. P. Hill's division, bis third and reserve line, to be placed iu front. While this change waa being effected, impatient and anxious the general rode forward on tho turnpike, follow ed by two or three of hi. staff and a number of oouriers and signal-sergeants. He passed tbe swampy depression and began the ascent of the hill toward Chinoellorsville, when he camo upon a line of tbe federal infantry ly. Ing on their arms. Fired at by one or two muskets (two mueket balls from tbe enemy whistled over my head as I came to the front), he turned and came back toward bia line, upon the aide of the road to bia left. As be rode near to the Confederate troopa just placed in position, and Ignorant that be was in tbe front, tbe left company began firing to the front, and two of bis party fell from their saddles dead Captain Boswell of tbe engin eers, and Sergeant Cunliffe of tbe signal oorps. Spurring his horse across the road to bis right, he was met by a second volley from tbe right company of Pender'. North Caro. lina brigade. Under this volley, when not two rod. from the troops, tho general received three balls at tbe same instant. One pene trated the palm of his right hand and was cut out tbat night from the back of bia hand. A second passed around the wrist of bis left arm and out through tbe left band. But a third ball passed through the left arm half, way from shoulder to elbow. The larire bnne of the upper arm was splintered to the el bow, join!, and Ihe wound bled freely. His borso turned quickly from the fire, through eue iuick ousnes, wnicu swept tbe cap from tbe general's bead, and scratched bis fore. head, leaving drops of blood to stain hia face. As he lost his bold upon tbe bridle-rein, he reeled from the saddle and was caught by tbe arms of Ciptain Milbourne of the sirnet corps. Liid upon the ground, there came at once to his succor Gen. A. P. Hill and mem bers of bis staff. Tbe writer reached hi. side a minute after, to find Gen. Hill holding the head end shoulders of the wounded chief. Cutting open the coat sleeve from wrist to shoulder, I found tbe wound in the unner arm, and with my handkerchief I bound tbe arm above tbe wound to stem tbe flow of blood. Couriers were sent for Dr. Hunter McGuire, tbe surgeon of tbe corps and the general's trusted friend, and for an ambu lance, llolng outside of our lines, it was urgent tbat be should be moved at once. With difficulty litter-bearers were brought from the line near by, the general placed up. on tbe litter, and carefully raised to Ihe shoulder, I myself bearing one corner. A moment after, artillery from tbe federal side was opened upon us; great broadsides thun dered over the woods ; hissing shells search ed tbe dark thickets through, and shrapnels swept tbe road along which we moved. Two or three steps farther, and the litter-bearer at my side was struck and fell, but, as tbe litter turned. Major Watkin. L-igb, of Hill's staff, happily canght it. But the fright of the men waa bo great that we were obliged to lay tbe litter and its burden down upon the road. As the litter-bearers ran to the cover of Iho trees, I threw myself by the general's side, and held bim firmly to the ground as he at tempted to rise. Over ns swept the rapid fire of shot and shell grape-shot striking fire upon the flinty rock of the road all around us, and sweeping from their feet horses and men of tbe artillery just moved to the front. Soon the firing veered to tbe other tide of the road, and I sprang to my feet, assisted tbe general to rise, passed my arm around bim, aud with the wounded man', weight thrown heavily upon me, we forsook tbe road. Entering tbe woods, ha Bank to tbe ground from exhaustion; but the litter was aonu brought, and again rallying a few men, we essayed to carry bim farther, when a second bearer fell at my aide. This time, with none to assist, tbe litter careened, and tbe geueral fell to tbe ground, with a groan of deep pain. Greatly alarmed, I sprang to bia bead, and, lifting bis head aa a stray beam of moonlight camo through tbe clouds and leaves, he opened his eyes and wearily said, 'Never uiiuu me, captain, never mind me.' u Using him again to his feet, be was accosted by Brigadier. General Pender: 'Oh, General, I hope you are not seriously wounded. I will bave to retire mv troops to re-form them. tbey are eo mucb broken by this fire.' But Jackson, rallying bia strength, with firm voice said, 'You must hold your ground, sir I' and bo uttered his last command on the field." Tar rierjiorj'a Nalev. Af.r thro' space, like atorm-swept bird, My memory flit, on nolaelea. wing; Hmall need of song, or uttered word. Yet these for memory's sake I bring.

In abeltered homea I feel tbe glow Of houaebold joy, that warms and cheers; And ahadowy pictures come and go, The bliss of unforgotten years.
